It didn't start off to be about bowls.......

 Well my start to this post was to be about moving this yellow
buffet out of the living room....
 to its new home .....
 I put this lovely lace runner over the top, which I treasure.......
thank you again Madelief.
 which inspired all of these....

 I love these flowers pins left over from the shop....

 I found this milk glass pedestal at the thrift shop not long ago
with my treasured cupcake from Diane, thank you again.
 a cafe au lait with a little Odd and Old.....she has a new art site.
 Miss Birdie Blue featured this garland and I fell in love with it and was sharing it with my friend 
Vicki that they were only .10 and she had already picked some up, I had to laugh!!!

 Its hard to see out the window our blustery winter conditions
all the blowing snow.....Moose pass was suppose to get 18-24 inches.
 A little Spring has sprung inside though.....
I will see you all next Monday 
as the kids are off of school till then.....
and with our warmer temps we are going to get out and enjoy.......

Hope you all have a wonderful rest of the week into the weekend!

    Your yellow cabinet fits perfectly underneath that window! Love all your enamel ware and of course the Dutch picture at the end is priceless... :-)

    Hello,
    I visited your blog today - I saw you on the lovely 'Ivy and Elephants.' Your blog is so pretty and cheerful to me. There is a peace and beauty about it, with lots of color. Me and my daughters started a blog, and we would love it if you could visit us and follow. I would enjoy coming back to visit with you. Your blog is filled with simplicity, and I am leaving here today with a smile. I hope to hear from you, and have a sweet day.

    such fun with all of your vintage bits & bobs. i'd be moving and re-arranging all of the time, just for the joy of looking at it all. love the vintage lace runner, it's gorgeous.

    enjoy your weekend of warmer temps with your precious kidlets.

    I sure like how the buffet looks in it's new home and especially the way you styled it with the lovely snowy backdrop! - You have so many nice things that you share with us from your, now closed, shop..have you ever considered opening up an Esty shop so we might have an opportunity to purchase some things? I think you can even sell from your blog..might be fun! xo

    Hi Heidi,

    This is a post to my heart! All that china!!! You have a lovely collection of bowls.

    Your buffet looks good in it's new place. The runner and the French candles look perfect on it. Wish I could come over and see it for myself :-)

    Enjoy your weekend and the mild weather. It's terribly cold (for our standard) in Holland (-10 C.)

    Lieve groet, Madelief x

    so many things to swoon over! I have the same milkglass dish and love it, great for buttons i might add. Those teeny chairs are soooo cute and that yellow dresser, love love love. I have been vacillating over painting something yellow or maybe duck egg blue , so hard to choose. melx

    Well, I'm glad it turned out to be about bowls in the end! I do love your French bowls. I met a brocante dealer last summer who had some factory-fresh bowls like your stencilled ones. He was charging 12€ each for them - he'd bought up the factory stock from the 1950s and earlier. Sadly, 12€ is way out of my budget... I can get grotty ones for 50c or 1€, so that's what I do!

    Every single picture you take is filled with so many beautiful pieces. I have to ooohhh and aaahhh over every little thing. So many pretty colors. The yellow dresser looks lovely in it's new home by the window, topped with lace. And to answer your question, I'm in KS. I've been to MN. several times though.
